Why is it that teachers can't wear N95 masks and face shields and blue nitrile gloves?

@33person Turns out kids elementary school age almost never shed the virus. Probably not even needed...for them. Teenagers are another matter.

I listened to a discussion about this issue the other day, and the people discussing it said the data from all over the world where children have already gone back to school without masks indicates that up to age 11 or 12 kids don't shed virus.

@4meAndyou Can't really blame parents for not wanting to roll the dice with their kids, though, on this virus. Almost never still isn't never. And where is the line? What about a 10-year-old? 11-year-old?

@33person As with anything, if parents are really that terrified, they should keep their child home. Of course, they are probably hurting the child more by isolating him or her when their friends go back to school.

The vaccine from Oxford actually WORKS, and we hope to see it here for the elderly and at risk population by late fall.
